today I shaved my beard

that's right, in case you hadn't seen me in a while, I had a big stupid beard. it was more out of laziness than any fashion sense. I have two big scars at the base of my neck that make shaving down there a terrifying experience. but I did it. it took a while and I had to take a break a few times, but it's mostly gone now. next up is my hair. I just want it short right now. it'll grow back. so don't get angry if you always think of me having long hair. don't be selfish. I had heart surgery. goddam you! anyway, that's about it, my beard is gone. it itches now. maybe this is symbolic of me getting better or something. who knows. I think it was just time for it to go.

I'll punch ya

no I won't. how's it going? I'm doing ok. my puking has stopped in the last few days, working on my cough right now. things are going well, but still slow. the weather finally turned warm here but then went back to being cold. I get out every day and walk on the beach, well technically, on the boardwalk. I'm getting stronger and hopefully I'll put on some weight now. other than that, I wrote my first sketch since being 'sick', as my mom calls it. pretty bored, which is good cuz that will motivate me to get back to LA. do you miss me? you better.
take care everybody
